Thanks to Chris and Mark for sending from Spain:
“We booked a trip late Winter 2021 when it looked like Covid was under control, vaccines available and Europe was opening up.
Oops….
With vaccination cards and negative tests we followed through with our Sitges, Spain travel. Beach was crowded and the majority of stores, restaurants and bars operating outdoors with masking and social distancing mandatory.
Just tested negative so we could re-enter.
Awesome trip, but not recommended!!”
And thanks to Tall E for sending from Glacier National Park in Montana. This is from the beach at the Lake McDonald Lodge.”

“Dear PoPville,
You were out running on Nevada Ave NW, near Chevy Chase, DC, this morning (Wednesday) around 8:30am, wearing a grey shirt, black shorts, and a blue hat (I appreciate it wasn’t backwards). I was walking my dog as you passed by. I should’ve said hi but hadn’t had my coffee yet, so my brain was working slowly.
If you’re interested in grabbing that cup of coffee, let me know.”
